Event
OUTLAST Houston is a timed, trail endurance event held on January 24, 2026, at Brazos River Park in Sugar Land, TX. The event format is a six-hour challenge composed of repeated 5K laps on a trail loop. Participants may complete as many laps as they can within the event window.
Format and logistics
Runners start a new 5K at the top of each hour and must finish each lap within that hour to continue. If a participant misses a lap, they are removed from further laps. Courses are trail-based and may include dirt, rocks, roots, elevation changes, and occasional pavement or gravel. Aid is provided at the basecamp/loop start with water, basic hydration, and snacks; the event is cupless, so participants should bring their own bottle or hydration system. Early packet pickup is available the day before, with additional packet pickup on race morning. A course route map is available via a Strava route.
Awards and entry
Finishers receive an OUTLAST Tee and sticker. Achievements are awarded as follows: completing 4 laps earns a bronze leather patch, 5 laps a silver leather patch, and 6 laps a wooden OUTLAST medal. Top male and female finishers by combined 5K time at the event earn local 1st Place awards and placement on a national leaderboard. National prizes and championship qualification are available to top performers. Entry pricing ranges from $90 (early) to $120 (race weekend if spots remain).
